Acer japonicum Aconitifolium
Large leaves with great fall color and some sun resistance makes this a showcase tree. A must have. But I would give it a bit of protection although it can take some sun and wind. This is a spectacular hardy tree that does not get too big around here !!
Originally known as Maiku jaku, translated to Dancing Peacock.
Leaves will persist lending to long term fall colors.
